If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.

I would recommend Signal and maybe Tox (protocol, has several clients).

Signal is a nonprofit. They make it a point not to collect your data. Just the phone number. Military folks seem to like them.

Tox is not a centralized entity at all, anarchists seem to like it. Multiple Tox clients exist and use a common protocol and network. Messaging happens via peer-to-peer, lookups make use of servers. For messaging to occur, both communicating parties have to be online, so don't expect much convenience.

Oh my God it's been so many years since I've heard of tox I set up a q-tox account years ago, then no one used the platform so I just let it rest. I think I have my identity key is still stored on my developer sync, I forgot that platform existed

I use signal with my wife and daughter for texting, does it also offer group servers? I keep in touch with most of my business customers through my shop’s discord server.

It does group messaging, it's not the same as discord, but I'm not sure what all features you need in a group chat room.

Yes, you can also share a server link and use a username therefore not needing to share your phone number, for bigger group chats
